But my recovery is completely stock.I just sideloaded the 5.01 OTA from this thread earlier. Do I need to flash the recovery img file? If yes, then will by user data be wiped?
[Nexus 5 General] Wh1t3Rose:
Yes to sideload anything past 4.4.4 stock recovery is needed. Data isn't wiped unless you flash the userdata.img
[Nexus 5 General] jeffery fisherman:
I think I missed getting my 5.1 ota while I was out if the country. Will they try and send it again?
[Nexus 5 General] Wh1t3Rose:
Yes. But why not just sideload it?
[Nexus 5 General] jeffery fisherman:
Cause then I have to download drivers and pull out the laptop, and I'm lazy. I will sideload if I have to. How long until they try and send it again?
[Nexus 5 General] gialakias:
You don't have to flash the recovery again. Where it says no command press and hold power and press volume up and release them (it is a little tricky but you will do it). Then you are in the menu of the recovery and you can choose sideload and proceed with the update.

[Nexus 5 General] Wh1t3Rose:
Can vary. When an OTA is first released you are put in a queue. If you deny or miss an OTA you are put at the bottom of the queue. Google usually pushes out OTA to a few hundred ppl a day ( Twice a day). So as the weeks go by the queue gets smaller and smaller. I wanna say when an OTA is first released you could get one notification every 2 weeks.

(Note to self: put in Q&A)
[Nexus 5 General] Kabir999:
I did that. But it seems that I had some issue with the ADB path. Reentered that and the process worked fine.

There is no OTA from kitkat to 5.1
[Nexus 5 General] Wh1t3Rose:

No. It may take a couple of weeks for it to hit your device. You can always sideload it. Download in OP

Anyone else notice this?

I have recurring alarm set in my mobile.

But still not able to see this option

The recurring alarm was set in 5.0.1.<br />

I have to create a new alarm in clock app to activate this feature.<br />

Now, I get this option.<br />

[Nexus 5 General] KennyWRX:
Thanks for the OTA link. One thing though... the platform tools linked in the first post need to be updated as the adb version bundled does not support sideloading to Nexus 5 (at least from 5.0.1). I got a msg saying it needed adb version 1.0.32 or higher.

LMY47I

Hi! Anyway to update from full stock 5.1 LMY47D to 5.1 LMY47I? no root, stock recovery.
[Nexus 5 General] jd1639:
If your bootloader is unlocked, yes. But not with an ota. Which this thread is about.
[Nexus 5 General] ern88:
Has LMY47I been released OTA yet? Anyone get it.
[Nexus 5 General] funnel71:

[Nexus 5 General] Sufyan.Chhipa95:
Hey guys, I am new to nexus 5 though I have some basic knowledge about adb and fastboot because I have rooted my htc explorer and desire x before.. So my question is that I have just rooted my nexus 5, running twrp recovery with android version 5.1 so i fall in the category of scenario b as mentioned in OP but in scenario b it says that this method is only for 4.4.4 below otas so what to do if i want to update to the latest last night release (LMY47I) because it is 4.4.4 above? Sorry if this has been asked before in the thread.. I am new here.. :)
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
Download the factory images and flash system.img, boot.img, radio.img, cache.img and bootloader.img using fastboot while booted into the booloader, then boot into your custom recovery and flash the latest SuperSU.
[Nexus 5 General] Sufyan.Chhipa95:
So if I just sideload ota.zip and not flash all these files one by one will it also replace my custom recovery with stock?
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
Attempting to sideload will give an error if you are not 100% (by 100%, I mean completely 100%) stock. ANY sort of modification (not including bootloader unlock/lock state) will stop the OTA from working.
[Nexus 5 General] Sufyan.Chhipa95:
Thanks for your precious time and guide .. I have downgrade my android to 4.4.4 by sideloading ota because 5.1 still has some memory leaking issues and some game hacking apps don't work in lollipop ;)
[Nexus 5 General] ern88:
No i's not. I just checked googles android image site. And it would say there, just like when they released and update 4.4.4 that said this: 4.4.4 Release 2 (For 2Degrees/NZ, Telstra/AUS and India ONLY) (KTU84Q)

4.4 to 5.1

I have 4.4 , rooted , TWRP, unlocked bootloader.

I'm assuming I can take the factory image - Unzip everything and keep the following images: bootloader, radio, boot, recovery and system.

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot flash radio radio.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot format cache

fastboot reboot

fully stock 5.1 without losing data.

Reroot and flash newer version of TWRP

Try it. But you'll probably bootloop going from 4.4 to 5.1 without doing a wipe.

Service for updating Nexus 5

I rooted my Nexus 5 and installed a stock 5.01. All went well, but I am trying now to update to 5.1 by sideloading the update. I got the signature verification error, so toggled the option. Now I get an error about presence of Hammerhead 4.4.1 rather than 5.01. I feel like I'm out of my depth here.

Does anyone offer a service for the less technologically literate to be talked through this process?

The Build Number is LRX22C.

Thanks

[Nexus 5 General] gdallas:
Can anyone help please.

Im trying to sideload the update from 5.01 to 5.1, its gets to about 12% then fails every time. *failed to read command

I dont know what im doing wring ive downloaded 3 times, same issue. ive tried it witth root, and without root. im using TWRP.

any ideas?
[Nexus 5 General] RossFixxed:
You need to be absolutely 100% stock to install ota. Check the op for what you can do next.
[Nexus 5 General] kaushikd:
You need to flash boot and system image files from existing version before sideloading the OTA. This is already discussed many times in the thread. :)

Anyone else seeing NO SERVICE more often than not after upgrading to 5.1? We're seeing this in two devices in two different parts of the state. Every now and then we look at the phone/turn the screen on and there is NO SERVICE on the top left corner with no bars at all. It comes back after a few seconds.
[Nexus 5 General] Winesnob:
Yep. StraightTalk AT&T.
[Nexus 5 General] sbi1:
Yeap, that's what we have. So I assume AT&T, right? Because StraightTalk is basically AT&T, they don't have their own network/towers, do they?

Is this a known issue? I believe it started with 5.1 or very close to its release. If I recall, I experienced a couple of NO SERVICE occasions prior to OTA upgrade so it could be that it has nothing to do with 5.1.

i have a strange problem. i'm trying to update lmy470 from lrx22c (in info build he clearly say that i'm on lrx11c) but in recovery it says, quoting:

"Package expect google fingerprints of google mako lrx22c, this device has google 4.4.2 kot49h"

The update manager from my phone, also, when, that one time that asked me to install 5.1 opened the recovery that gave me the same problem.

What's wrong?

Help I think I might have f*cked up =\

So I updated with the OTA as I did last time.

"48B" file as my phone was on build "47D"

Activated usb debugging

Sideloaded with ADB.

All went well till the end. And then I had the "brilliant" idea to format the cache because that was normal procedure when I was using odd roms on my old Motorola Razr M...

It got stuck there forever, so I rebooted the phone thinking... "it's just the cache should be ok" wrong...

Doesn't load into OS and now on Recovery mode it shows repeatedly:

E:failed to mount /cache (Invalid argument)

E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log

then the same but with /last_log ; /last_install ; /last_kmsg

Tried formating it again...

-- Wiping cache...

E:failed to mount /cache (Invalid argument)

Help! =(

Was it the format cache? shouldn't it only hold temporary stuff not needed for the update nor anything essential to the OS?!

Anything I can do? In particular that doesn't imply wiping my phone's memory as I have important stuff there that I didn't backup this time because nothing bad happens anytime I update with an OTA file anyway :P =(
[Nexus 5 General] Wh1t3Rose:
Don't worry. This is an easy fix :). Just Fastboot flash cache.img from a factory image (one you upgraded from). Then wipe cache in recovery. Reboot

What are the files I need to flash before applying the OTA?

[Nexus 5 General] Cowboy_Henk:
Succesfully updated my nexus 5 to 5.1.1. with Wugfresh' s Nexus Root Toolkit (NRT). I just choose "flash stock +unroot" and select 5.1..1 image file and select no wipe and "force flash mode" (recommended settings)

Then Root + custom recovery with NRT again. Easy!
[Nexus 5 General] SrPintas:
I downloaded the factory image version 5.1.1 but I can't see the cache.img inside =\

Edit:

OH! Updated "from" (sorry not English native speaker, didn't notice it right away I guess)

So you mean 5.1 the previous version?

Edit2: Can't flash. "Remote: not supported in locked devices"

Locked bootloader I suppose.

How do I go about unlocking it, and... doesn't it void my warranty ? It still has nearly 1 year left of warranty, I don't wanna void it just in case.

---------- Post added at 12:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:56 AM ----------

the command: "fastboot oem unlock" is the only unlock "method" I'm aware off, I'm not sure if that's what I need to do, but by doing so the phone wipes all my data =\
[Nexus 5 General] Noname017:
For some reason i can't update my stock recovery with ADB sideload. Bootloader, radio, boot, system - everything is updating just fine, but the recovery is not updating at all. The version should match the Android build, but it stays the same as it was before applying the OTA. It already happened 3 times: Nexus 5 5.0-5.1, 5.1-5.1.1 and Nexus 7 2012 5.1-5.1.1. I had to flash new recovery image manually every time with Fastboot.

Is is a normal behavior for ADB sideload?
[Nexus 5 General] gialakias:
You reboot and it is still the same when you enter again?

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 General] Noname017:
Yes. And it happened multiple times on multiple devices. Also I've already found confirmations of this from other people, so I guess it is a normal behavior for ADB sideload. Surprisingly, it's never mentioned in any guides about manually applying the OTA.
[Nexus 5 General] El Daddy:
Interesting. Sorry you had trouble. I've done that method many times myself with other devices without issue. I'll make note of it and see if it pops up again.

[Nexus 5 General] MarkFromLondon:
I'm somewhere between scenario #1 and scenario #2.

I have a stock ROM with no deletions or modifications, I have an unlocked boot loader with root but stock recovery.

Can I get OTA?

Also, if I can't and I'd rather use a custom recovery and not sideload, will there be a place that will have the OTA.zip and a release date for download?

I'm just a bit worried since I'm on my second Nexus 5 after bricking the first one when I tried to update the first OTA with TWRP.

Thanks!
[Nexus 5 General] El Daddy:
You will receive the ota and it will apply successfully. You will lose root however.

I'm curious how you bricked flashing an ota since there hasn't been one other than the setup ota.
[Nexus 5 General] MarkFromLondon:
Excellent. The reason I wanted an official OTA was for the bricking reason. Losing root is not a problem and I can use cf-autoroot.

I bricked my phone because I auto-rooted it an installed TWRP before it booted for the first time then noticed oldblue had posted links to the kfs578n and kqs81m updates. I wasn't sure which one to use and flashed the EU/UK version which seemed to complete successfully, but when the phone asked me to reboot, which I did, that was it, it never came back on again. I tried breathing life into it for almost 24 hours but eventually had to admit I'd bricked it.

I don't know if it was the TWRP, the wrong update or what, but whatever it was didn't play well with a brand new phone which was the reason for my question to you. If I can get OTA without breaking/ bricking the phone, re-rooting will be much less of an inconvenience :thumbup:
[Nexus 5 General] jemi9:
I can't understand how can someone receive a NEW Nexus 5, and before trying it, test if it has any defects, etc.... he starts installing TWRP and rooting before booting for first time :eek:
[Nexus 5 General] abaaaabbbb63:
I think he was talking about booting the first time after he unlocked the bootloader.
[Nexus 5 General] Stonebot:
I have standard recovery, unlocked and rooted with custom kernel. If I flash the stock kernel, will I be able to apply an OTA successfully, reapply root permissions, and reflash a custom kernel?

Thanks!
[Nexus 5 General] abaaaabbbb63:
Yes.
[Nexus 5 General] embhorn:
WARNING!

If you have "Survival Mode" turned on in SuperSU, then you may be stuck in a bootloop after the upgrade. This happened to me on my N7. I think you'll need to reflash the stock recovery. I ended up reflashing everything back to stock and restoring from a backup.
[Nexus 5 General] vs0587:
There is already some OTA? I have KRT16M..
[Nexus 5 General] MarkFromLondon:
I don't have the pro version of SuperSU so survival mode is greyed-out.

I do wonder if I should perform an un-root with it though when an OTA notification comes along, then all I'll have is an unlocked boot loader.
[Nexus 5 General] LexusNexus:
Very similar to this but with a custom recovery (TWRP). Custom recovery, unlocked and rooted, custom kernel. I'm looking at the scenarios and I just want to be sure I have the correct options.

I'm thinking my first option is flashing the stock recovery and kernel, apply the OTA, and re-root. Does that sound about right?

Would it be easier if I flashed the stock kernel and moved to scenario #2? This seems like it would be much faster since I would just flash the OTA instead of re-rooting. The only thing I'm worried about is the "no modifications or deletions" qualifier. Besides modifying the kernel, ROM, and recovery, what else fits into this category? I haven't really done any heavy modding besides flashing a new kernel.

By the way this is my first post, I hope I'm not diving in too fast haha. I came from a stock HTC One and I'm loving all this freedom I have now.
[Nexus 5 General] El Daddy:
Either of those options will work fine. Just a heads up, some kernels modify system files as well. If that happens, you'll have to either replace thos files or flash the system.img.
[Nexus 5 General] koolbrader:
I need some clarification here. I'm in Scenario 2 which means I will be referring to the solution on Section B.

So I have :

Stock ROM

Root

Custom Recovery (CWM)

Stock Kernel

Basically everything is stock and as brand new as the phone except for root and CWM. Now, what happens if I apply this Dalvik MOD?

It optimises Dalvik and makes the phone work faster and smoother. Will I still be able to get OTA with this?
[Nexus 5 General] ohad123454:
Ok so i rooted my nexus 5 the other day and opened the bootloader and installed custome recovery. My question is if i can get the version updates. I mean when the kitkat 4.4.2 (or whatever) will be realesed i will be able to update? Thanks
[Nexus 5 General] hpsauce37:
ok so i am Scenario #3

unlocked bootloader, rooted (cf auto root), Dalvic mod, franco kernal, clockwork recovery

If i understand correctly then to get back to complete stock i just need to flash the KRT16M STOCK IMAGE?

If so do i just download it to my phone then into recovery (flashify, cwm) and flash the file? does this then remove the root and cwm recovery?

I tried to go back to stock a few days ago using abaaaabbbb63 guide but was having difficulties and then ran out of time an patience trying to sort it however this seems simple....or am i missing something?

thanks
[Nexus 5 General] El Daddy:
No you will not. It modifies some libraries.

You should be OK.

The factory image can only be flashed using fastboot as described in abaaaabbb63's guide.
[Nexus 5 General] ohad123454:
It will update automatically or i should update manually ?
[Nexus 5 General] El Daddy:
It will update automatically.
[Nexus 5 General] ryanwalexander:
Figured it out. I had tried a custom kernel then flashed back the original. Guess it didn't work right.

Used the instructions here (1st post below OP) and it worked fine.
